Abstract

Recently, many researchers have used nature inspired metaheuristic algorithms due to their ability to perform optimally on complex problems. To solve problems in a simple way, in the recent era bat algorithm has become famous due to its high tendency towards convergence to the global optimum most of the time. But, still the standard bat with random walk has a problem of getting stuck in local minima. In order to solve this problem, this research proposed bat algorithm with levy flight random walk. Then, the proposed Bat with Levy flight algorithm is further hybridized with three different variants of ANN.… More >

Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are one of the most important improvements due to their remarkable capacities and their continuous growth in various applications. However, the lifetime of WSNs is very confined because of the delimited energy limit of their sensor nodes. This is the reason why energy conservation is considered the main exploration worry for WSNs. For this energy-efficient routing is required to save energy and to subsequently drag out the lifetime of WSNs. In this report we use the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) method and are evaluated using the Genetic Algorithm (GA), based on the Detour non-split dominant set… More >

Abstract The 5G communication systems are widely established for high-speed data processing to meet users demands. The 5G New Radio (NR) communications comprise a network of ultra-low latency, high processing speeds, high throughput and rapid synchronization with a time frame of 10 ms. Synchronization between User Equipment (UE) and 5G base station known as gNB is a fundamental procedure in a cellular system and it is performed by a synchronization signal. In 5G NR system, Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) are used to detect the best serving base station with the help of a cell search procedure.… More >

Abstract Indoor positioning and localization have emerged as a potential research area during the last few years owing to the wide proliferation of smartphones and the inception of location-attached services for the consumer industry. Due to the importance of precise location information, several positioning technologies are adopted such as Wi-Fi, ultrawideband, infrared, radio frequency identification, Bluetooth beacons, pedestrian dead reckoning, and magnetic field, etc. Although Wi-Fi and magnetic field-based positioning are more attractive concerning the deployment of Wi-Fi access points and ubiquity of magnetic field data, the latter is preferred as it does not require any additional infrastructure as other approaches… More >

Abstract With the increasing popularity of cloud storage, data security on the cloud has become increasingly visible. Searchable encryption has the ability to realize the privacy protection and security of data in the cloud. However, with the continuous development of quantum computing, the standard Public-key Encryption with Keyword Search (PEKS) scheme cannot resist quantum-based keyword guessing attacks. Further, the credibility of the server also poses a significant threat to the security of the retrieval process. This paper proposes a searchable encryption scheme based on lattice cryptography using blockchain to address the above problems. Firstly, we design a lattice-based encryption primitive to… More >

Abstract Multitasking and multioutput neural networks models jointly learn related classification tasks from a shared structure. Hard parameters sharing is a multitasking approach that shares hidden layers between multiple task-specific outputs. The output layers’ weights are essential in transforming aggregated neurons outputs into tasks labels. This paper redirects the multioutput network research to prove that the ensemble of output layers prediction can improve network performance in classifying multi-label classification tasks. The network’s output layers initialized with different weights simulate multiple semi-independent classifiers that can make non-identical label sets predictions for the same instance. The ensemble of a multi-output neural network that… More >

Abstract With the rapid evolution of Internet of things (IoT), many edge devices require simultaneous connection in 5G communication era. To afford massive data of IoT devices, multiple input multiple output non-orthogonal multiple access (MIMO-NOMA) method has been considered as a promising technology. However, there are numerous drawbacks due to error propagation and inter-user interferences. Therefore, proposed scheme aims to improve the reliability of the MIMO-NOMA system with digital beamforming and intra-cluster cooperative multi point (CoMP) to efficiently support IoT system. In the conventional MIMO-NOMA system, user entities are grouped into clusters. Block diagonalization (BD) is applied to efficiently eliminate the… More >

Abstract This article presents hourly load forecasting by using an incremental learning model called Online Sequential Extreme Learning Machine (OS-ELM), which can learn and adapt automatically according to new arrival input. However, the use of OS-ELM requires a sufficient amount of initial training sample data, which makes OS-ELM inoperable if sufficiently accurate sample data cannot be obtained. To solve this problem, a synthesis of the initial training sample is proposed. The synthesis of the initial sample is achieved by taking the first data received at the start of working and adding random noises to that data to create new and sufficient… More >

Abstract The alignment operation between many protein sequences or DNA sequences related to the scientific bioinformatics application is very complex. There is a trade-off in the objectives in the existing techniques of Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA). The techniques that concern with speed ignore accuracy, whereas techniques that concern with accuracy ignore speed. The term alignment means to get the similarity in different sequences with high accuracy. The more growing number of sequences leads to a very complex and complicated problem. Because of the emergence; rapid development; and dependence on gene sequencing, sequence alignment has become important in every biological relationship analysis… More >

Abstract High-quality medical microscopic images used for diseases detection are expensive and difficult to store. Therefore, low-resolution images are favorable due to their low storage space and ease of sharing, where the images can be enlarged when needed using Super-Resolution (SR) techniques. However, it is important to maintain the shape and size of the medical images while enlarging them. One of the problems facing SR is that the performance of medical image diagnosis is very poor due to the deterioration of the reconstructed image resolution. Consequently, this paper suggests a multi-SR and classification framework based on Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to… More >
